Overview
Computed Tomography
Both CT and MRI may be used to detect neoplastic masses that may define renal cell carcinoma or metastasis of the primary cancer. CT scan and use of intravenous (IV) contrast is generally used for work-up and follow-up of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Enhancing renal masses on CT scan is strongly indicative of the presence of a renal tumor.[1] It is always important to note the significance of radiation exposure in the recurrent use of CT scan for surveillance.
